We’re always looking for ways to make generosity simpler, more secure, and more connected to the life of our church. That’s why we’re excited to share that we are transitioning from PayPal to online giving through Realm (ACST), the same system we use for our church database and accounting.
This change brings several important benefits:
💡 A More Connected System
Realm integrates giving directly with our membership and financial records. That means fewer manual steps, fewer opportunities for error, and a smoother process for our volunteers and staff.
🙌 A Better Experience for Givers
Whether you give once or set up a recurring gift, Realm makes the process intuitive and user-friendly. You’ll be able to manage your giving history, update payment methods, and track your contributions all in one place.
🔒 Secure and Reliable
Realm is built specifically for churches and nonprofits, offering strong security and trusted financial tools designed for ministries like ours.
📱 Easy to Use
You can give online through our website or directly through the Realm mobile app (available on iTunes and Google Play). It’s quick, simple, and accessible from anywhere.
As we make this transition, we’re grateful for your continued generosity. Every gift—large or small—helps us live out its mission of hospitality, service, and hope in the heart of our community.
If you have questions or need help getting started with Realm, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Contact the office@franklinumc.org or Pastor Jacob.
Thank you for your faithful generosity and support of the Franklin UMC.
